In the above link, you describe how to mix .deb, .rpm, built-from-source
and other packages into something stow-like. How do you address the
problem that some packages have different names in deb/rpm land and thus
something an rpm depends on might be unknown to Stow, e.g., because it
is has a slightly different name? (Library packages come to mind here).
